Dear Editor.These are great and point out the relevance in present day.
Please could you find some verses from texts that say something about “JUSTICE and FAIR TRADE”. I will be very grateful for your help.

^^^ That will be an interesting sunject to research (Justice and Fair trade in Hindu teachings). I think that the Mahabharata and the Kautilya’s Arthashastra may have a lot to say in this regards.

Excellent Idea and service. The citations, however, must be complete following the established academic practice. This will enable any reader to check your quotations in the original text or translations for authenticity and stimulate further interest and study.

Dear Sir/Madam, This is a very positive aspect of the Voice. I would request though to attach the name of the acharyas (such as Sri Shankarachrya, Sri Ramanuja, Sri Chaitanya etc., who are of authentic monastic traditions) ) whose authoritative English translations are available nowadays.

Editor:
Quotes form Shastras is a good section.
Is it possible to give exact verse # along with the name of the scriptures?
Is it also possible to give original Sanskrit verse and English transliteration?
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Your quotes from the Shastras are inspiring and thought provoking.
Could you however please include the exact verse number as well? This would remove any doubt on the existence of the verse and/or to ensure that the verse has been copied verbatim

These quotes are invaluable in combating the misrepresentation of Hinduism by those who seek to degrade it in order to promote their own. It would be a good spiritual practice if we could reflect and contemplate on one wise saying each day.
